Does anybody have any suggestions for models that students in an
undergrad lab class could use to manipulate climate variables to
simulate climate change and observe resulting biotic responses? The
responses could be almost anything ecologically interesting- growth of
individual organisms, changes in a local community, changes in
geographic distributions, etc. Ideally, I'd like an easy interface that
is fairly easy for students to learn to use, but based on a reasonably
sophisticated underlying model. Some years ago there was a
student-friendly version of the JABOWA model (of forest dynamics) that
was suitable for use in this way. Can anyone suggest any others, or
anything newer?
